Background

Acyl-protein thioesterase 1 (APT1, Lysophospholipase 1) is a member of a family of critical enzymes, lysophospholipases, that act on biological membranes to regulate the multifunctional lysophospholipids (1). APT1 hydrolyzes fatty acids from S-acylated cysteine residues in proteins such as trimeric G alpha proteins or HRAS (2). The role of APT1 in regulating lysophospholipids is important because increased levels of lysophospholipids are detected in a variety of diseases, including atherosclerosis and hyperlipidemia (1). Regulated expression of acyl-protein thioesterase by PKC has been suggested to have important implications for signal transduction processes (3).Synonyms: LYPLA1, APT1, LPL1, Acyl-protein thioesterase 1, Lysophospholipase 1,Lysophospholipase I
